The throttle seems to be binding, the thottle lever will not go to idle position. If I remove cable it operates right. I attached a pic looks like the connection is crooked instead of straight. Could I have the wrong connection on the cable?

Re: throttle binding?

It is a OMC box. THe cable operates fine not connected. The botom cable on the pic doesnt line up straight the the lever. I actually have to force it upwards to connect on the lever. THat is why I am thinking mabey wrong end on cable or wrong throttle lever on engine. Seems like the lever needs to come down about and inch so cable is straight when connected
